Fans converge...But not on Walton's Mountain
Carolyn Grinnell, president of the Waltons International Fan Club, was there in Schuyler the day the museum opened in 1992. She loves coming up from North Carolina every fall to the quaint little town where the club has had reunions with fans and cast members at the museum.
This year, however, the fan club will hold its July 13 reunion at the Doubletree not in Schuyler but 45 minutes away in Charlottesville.
As with so much in this story, explanations vary.
